Technical notes
Do not point the lens at the sun
Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or other strong light sources when shooting or when leaving
the camera unattended without a lens cap. Strong light sources such as sunlight are
concentrated through the lens, which may cause deformation of the internal parts of the lens or
discoloration or burn-in on the image sensor. The camera may be damaged even when the lens
is pointed toward the sun for a few seconds, particularly when the lens is in a telephoto position.
The camera may not be able to perform exposure control when the internal parts of the lens
are deformed.
Unevenness may appear in images when discoloration or burn-in occurs on the image sensor.
It is recommended that you attach the lens cap when you are not using the camera.
Lasers and other bright light sources
Do not direct lasers or other extremely bright light sources toward the lens, as this could
damage the camera’s image sensor.
Turn the product off before removing or disconnecting the
power source or memory card
Do not remove the battery while the product is on, or while images are being saved or
deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in
damage to the memory card or internal circuitry.
Notes about the monitor
•
Monitors (including electronic viewfinders) are constructed with extremely high precision; at
least 99.99% of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or defective. Hence
while these displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white, red, blue, or green) or always
off (black), this is not a malfunction and has no effect on images recorded with the device.
•
Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting.
•
Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or malfunction. Should
the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury caused by broken glass and to
prevent the liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth.
